relief teaching experience part 2

time really flies, and now i am left with but two days to the end of my relief teaching at RVHS.

at this point, i feel really apprehensive because i am about to enter a new stage of life also called NUS. And I know i am going to miss RV for sure. I do not know how much I can continue to stay behind to contribute to St John.. Much as i want to, i know that time is limited and very soon I will need to let the cadets (and OCTs) run on their own.

Much as i want to stay on, i cannot. tuesday will be my last day and after that, it will be back to normal life as an instructor, coming back once in a while...

The past week was okay. I caught the flu, but that was during sec 3 camp which i was not required to go down to school so it was okay. But when I went back on Thursday, i was required to take one of the classes where the teacher was not in. And boy, they did turn havoc. I had to scold them. But not easy, with my nose still blocked from the flu. As i type this, it's better now, but still not 100% okay yet.

On Friday, there was a directive that CCA has to stop by 5. So i was tasked to ensure that. And they conducted last parade at 4.15, just like i instructed them. But as usual, the cadets dragged on until i had to finally stand outside the st john room and really chase them out. I didn't like it. They are the same cadets whom I had built up a rapport with. But work is work. Got to be done. I can be nice to them at other times.

Well, what's done is done... got to re evaluate my priorities now..
